Paramveer

Paramveer meaning

Paramveer (परमवीर) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.

Parama, highest, supreme + vīra, hero: the supreme hero

Also used to mean: supreme warrior, greatest warrior

Paramveer (परमवीर) joins Sanskrit parama, "highest, supreme", with vīra, "hero". Monier-Williams gives vīra as a brave or eminent man, a hero or chief, and parama as highest and most excellent, so the name reads as "the supreme hero". The phrase is best known from the Param Vir Chakra, India's highest award for gallantry in war, established in 1950. Name lists give "supreme warrior" or "greatest warrior", which fits the two parts. The name is used by both Hindu and Sikh families in North India.
